AgriTech & Food Security
Farms today run on data, drones, and smart finance. At GIF 2025 we show how precision tools can lift yields, cut water use, and create export-ready brands—starting with Georgia and spreading across the wider region.
From Yield Boosts to Climate Action
The mission has shifted. It is no longer just about tonnage. Modern agritech backs climate-smart farming that traps carbon, saves soil, and shields smallholders from weather shocks. World Bank programs have already helped 4.7 million farmers adopt these tools worldwide.
Key Thematic Areas
- Precision irrigation and sensor-driven water use
- Drone imaging and satellite crop mapping
- Digital platforms for finance and crop insurance
- Controlled-environment agriculture and vertical farms
- Traceability and blockchain for export markets
- Climate-smart inputs—bio-fertilizers and heat-tolerant seeds
- Agri-waste valorization and circular bio-economy
